Cisco Systems Gateway 10 quick start Configuring FastEthernet1 Port

Note If the enable password and enable secret commands are both set, you must enter the secret password.

When you enter either of these password commands with the level option, you define a password for a specific privilege level. After you specify the level and set a password, give the password only to the users who need to have access at this level. Use the privilege level configuration command to specify commands accessible at various levels.

If you enable the service password-encryptioncommand, the password you enter is encrypted. When you display the password with the more system:running-configcommand, the password displays the password in encrypted form.

If you specify an encryption type, you must provide an encrypted password—an encrypted password you copy from another Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM configuration.

Note You cannot recover a lost encrypted password. You must clear NVRAM and set a new password.

Setting or Changing a Privileged Password

To set or change a privileged password, enter the password command:

Switch(config-line)# password password

Configuring FastEthernet1 Port

The supervisor includes an out of band management Ethernet port on the front panel known as “fa1”. This FastEthernet port on the management supervisor is enabled using the following command in the ROMMON mode:

fa1Enable=1

This enables the management port after reload. When the interface is enabled, it is available via Cisco IOS.

interface FastEthernet1

ip address 10.5.30.183 255.255.255.0 speed auto

duplex auto

To disable this port, fa1Enable should be set to zero in the ROMMON mode.

Caution The FastEthernet port is not intended for heavy traffic load. The “fa1” port is directly connected to the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and hence, the traffic on this port adversely affects the CPU’s performance. Do not use this port for data traffic under any circumstance. The CPU is an easy target for Denial-of-Service attacks through this port. You must ensure that the “fa1” port is restricted to management traffic only when you build your network topology.

Note If the “fa1” port is enabled, the system displays a warning message during bootup.
